none manoeuvre ECONOMY.
‘ - The House passed the bill granting pen-
sions to all survivors of the war of 1812, and
of course set the tide for hundreds upon hun-
dreds of applications therefor. The already
inundated pension office is therefore again
compelled to inform the Speaker that the
cases appertaining‘to the late rebellion are
two years in arrears for want “of the necessa-
Sry clerical force to get up the work, and that
it is utterly impossible to take up the new
- cases unless-Congress grants the relief of help
so many times prayed for, but without avail.
Judge Wait, of Connecticut, initiated addi-
tion of clerks being granted the Slirgeonl
General‘s oifice. But none were voted the
Commissioner of Pensions. Secretary Sher-
man sent an earnest request to the House for
an appropriation or permission to use $30,000
of the money raved in the Engraving and
Printing Bureau towards paying clerks on
the temporary roll of the Treasury,and where
services were greatly needed. The economi-
cal House took up the matter and voted the
Secretary might employ or retain in their
places as many of these temporary clerks as
3ch thousand distort: would pay at $2 per day!
Our democratic friends can throw wide open
the doors of the Treasury for Southern
claims OrSouthern improvements; they can
reestablish the freaking privilege and vote
themselves the - customary perquisites of
mileagcs, free stationary, free newspapers, or
in lieu thereof, pocket the cash, as most of
them do, and then they are prepared to
{in or- unis. it'Tzéfi' carriers, ‘
Vt MAI rill— nu“; -.._._ :'.
Just now, the Military Committee of the
House is investigating the pay of .Our army
officers with a view to get at the exact
amount Uncle;Samuel_pays these Sons of
Mars, in all the subterfuges “of commuta-.
tions, of quarters, of rations and forages."
This is all right, for the people ought to know
what is covered up in these mysterious .“ex-
true.” There.” should be no covert fees, com- '
missions or perquisites paid any government
employee, and the sooner the whole --bad; sys-
tem is exploded the better for this taxtbur-
dencd people. But why doesn’t some virtu-
ous Congressman rise in his place and let the
country know, that the tickets which bring
him tO'Washingtomthe soap which he washes
his face with, the barber who shaves him and
gives him his bath, the snuff that makeshim
sneeze, the newspaper he reads, the pen, ink
and paper he writes with, the boquet "that
adorns his table, and the garden and flower
seeds he plants his homestead with are all
paid for by the government. The total cost
to the nation of its congressmen cannot aver-
age less than from eight to ten thousandgdol-
lars, and this higgling by themgabout thegpay
Of poor clerks, messengers, letter carriers,
etc, is an outrageous piece of deception and
dcmagogueism. 'Let these blatant yelpers
for reform first show up their own drafts ripen
the Treasury in the way of perquisites, and
then shall they see clearly} how to get .the
. “extra" metesout Of the pay of the army.
' 'rnE coxsnLAn snavxoa.
Th'e Diplomatic . and Consular ApprOpria-
tion Bill has been the special bone Of conten-
tion in the House the past week. It is under-
going thc same rigorous but senseless cutting
down process that marks the whole action of
the democratic side of the present House.
Secretary Evarts'is indignant, and says the
honor, dignity and pecuniary interests of the
Nation are entirely ignored by this ignorant
and parsimonious conduct.
NEXT.
While the House is thus higgling over the
paring and scrapings of minor salaries, the
enterprising interior postmaster, intent upon
raising his salary to a decent and comfortable
figure, is shoving the sale of stamps bcygnd
museums-ammo? tlfitgthe gov-
ernment is probably losing a hundred thou.
sand dollars every month by the illegal sale
of stamps. The law recommended to cut short
this abuse could have been and ought to have
passed the first week in December, but it still
lags in the committee room.
WHAT CONGRESS SHOULD DO.
A resolution was introduced in the Penn-
sylvania House yesterday, calling on Con-
gress, in view of the ‘present depression of
business and want Of employment of willing
labor, to adopt a policy which will stimulate
the erection of public buildings, and such
general system of public improvements as
may be deemed necessary in the near future.
It would be well if other states whose, Legis-
tures are in session,would take similar action.
THE TARIFF BILL.
The Committee on Ways and Means tO-day
finished the Tariff Bill, so far as the adjust-
. meat of the rates on taxable articles are con-
cerned. The committee will provide the ma-
chinery to carry its provisions out next week,
and expect to get the bill reported to the
House on Friday next. Connecticut has
been able to have her special interests report-
ed upon, as they should be, so as to conduce
to the best interests Of car manufacturers.
Hon. S. W. Kellogg was fortunate enough to
get the rates on raw and manufactured India
rubber adjusted as per the wishes of our
manufacturers.
REFORM.
The democrats of the House have' again
come to grief over their last doorkecper.
This is their third attempt to run that Office
and officer with most lamentable ill-success.
They are so disheartened and disgusted that
it is proposed to abolish the ofilce and place
all the appointees and duties under control Of
the Sergeant-at-Arms, as is done at the Sen-
ate end of the Capitol. ‘
uxnnrnovnn.
It is estimated there are over ten thousand
unemployed and destitute persons who have
heretofore held government positions, now
roaming the city seeking work.
nIssELL’s POSTAL BILL.
The House Postal Committee has nearly
completed the bill for the. classification of
mail matter The existing rates will prob-
ably not be charged, but the classification is
simplified. The bill prohibits carrying sec-
cud-class mail matter outside the mails, and
authorizes the POEtmaster General to use re
turn postal cards and a combined letter sheet
and envelope. The second-class mail mat-
ter includes two kinds, privileged and ordi-
nary. Sample copies of newspapers are to
be admitted to the mails at the same rate as
regular issues of registered matter.
MC GARRAHAN AGAIN.
The Senate Committee on Territories is
again engaged in a hearing Of the McGarra-
ban, as the new . Idria Silver Mining Co.
This case was once’most exhaustively ex-
amined by the late Senator Ferry, who came
:to the conclusion, that the amount of for-
gery, fraud, perjury, and deliberfite falsify-
;,_ing of deeds and court records, against poor
McGarrahan [was perfectly staggeng and in
which. President Buchanan’s Attorney Gen-
eral was most unfortunately mixed up. The
income of this mine is said to be fully a
million per year and with its vast resources
it is said that courts, attorney’s, the press
and throughthem thepublic have been most
unjustly prejudiced against the claimant.
, ARLINGTON.
The heirs of Gen. Robert E. Lee have
been suing for the recovery of Arlington.
Judge Hughes has sustained the demurrer of'
the plaintiff to the suggestion of the AttOrney
_ General that the own had no jurisdiction,
' and he decides that the Government must

Secretary Sherman has managed tO get a
nice “corner" on his new silver dollars.
The only way the public can get them Is to
purchase them with gold. The treasury will
not sell them for greenbacks, nor yet for
trade dollars or half-dollars, nor quarters.
To get them, one goes to a broker and buys
gold and with gold coin then gets an even
exchange, dollar for dollar! Some thirty
thousand—new silver dollars have thus been
exchanged for gold the present week. They
are very popular as sample pieces, but a
more horrid carira'ure of the “Ameiizaa
Eagle” was never attempted, than on this
new coin. We are glad the engraver was a
f‘perfidious albion.”. .
‘ Senator Dan Vorhees received the fo‘low-
ing startling despatch yesterday from an
irate constituent :— '
“D——-——n your Silver Bill. It‘s a fraud.
Bonds going tip—gold going down—That
isn’t u but we want."

Benjamin Noyes, President or manager Of
the recent Migratory Life Insurance Com-
pany located at New Haven, was forcibly.
kidnapped from here by a gang of detectives
and hurried over to New Jerscy where he is
now a prisoner again. What the upstart will
be when Benjamin‘s counsel get his case
before the courts remains to be seen. It was
a high-handed outrage, whatever Noyes’
fault may be, and Ben. Butler, his counsul,
will no doubt make it lively for the over-
zealous Jerseymen. Nevertheless our Con-
necticut Life Insurance men and Companies
are getting to be quite unpleasantly notorious.
Noyes‘ worst crime is said to be an earnest
endeavorto save the wreck of his company
from uttcr destruction.

The Game of Bluff Played Out.
Those Stamford liquor cases, about which
such a fuss was made, and which were all
appealed to the Superior Court, came up last
week. Those who expected exciting and
long-continued trials were doomed to dis-
appointment. The dealers gave in and plead
guilty, one after another, a change having
come over the spirit of their dreams, evident-
ly. On_Monday, D. B. Morehouse plead
guilty to two complaints and was fined $50
and costs on each ; John Reardon the same;
Geo. E. Parker, one sale, $50 and costs;
Chas. W. Smith,——the justice who tried Mr.
Buckley,-»plead guilty on four counts, and
was fined $200 and costs. On Tuesday,
Peter Fox was fined $150 and costs; the
case Of Patrick Boyle went to trial, and the
jury disagreed, 9 tO 3 for conviction. On
Wednesday John Conley was fined $50 and
costs on two counts ; John O'Neil’s case was
nolled. On Thursday Charles Meeker was
tried and found guilty; appealed to Superior
Court on ground that evidence was ruled out
improperly. On Friday A. G. Weed was
convicted and fined $50 and costs; A. E
Lines got off by showing that the liquor was
sold by a man in his employ; Isaac Fox was
found not guilty of selling lager beer. Phil
Lover’s trial, 11 counts, commenced but was
not finished, the Court adjourning over Sun-
day. The witnesscs in his case are said to
be all Stamford men. So far the Stamford
justice who tried the cases seems to have
been sustained in his decisions in about every
instance. The lawyers may have made
something by appealing the cases, but we
fail to see how the dealers have been benc-
fittcd. The costs, in each case, it is stated,
amount to $80 or $90—pcrhaps more.
The trial of Capt. Lever was continued
yesterday, but not finished.

Out of Debt.
The good people of St. Paul’s Episcopal
Society are to be congratulated—the church
is out of debt 1 On Saturday last Mr. F. St.
John Lockwood paid over the legacy left to
the church by Miss Belden, and the amount
will not only wipe out the entire debt Of the
church but leaves about $3,000 in the treas-
ury. The amount paid was about $19,000.

In counting the votes at South Norwalk,
last week Monday, the counters were aston-
ished to find a ballot bearing the following
words: “For God is the King of all the
earth: sing ye praises with understanding."
How-it was counted may be inferred from
the fact that two votes were rejected as blank
in that district. It is explained that Dr.
Burke recited the verse at a Sunday School
Concert the previous evening, and that he
put the tekt and folded ballot for Mr. Wood-
ward in the same vest pocket. ‘
The officers-who have charge of the early
morning mail from New York must be green
hands, or else very careless. We hear
constant complaints of mails, or packages
miscarried—more than we have ever heard
before. For the past two weeks the bun-
dles of the GAZETTE directed to Westport,
have been carried by that place. The first
week it came back from the East the same
day; last week, at noon on Wednesday it was
missing. We take special pains to deposit
the papers in the Post Office here during
Monday night, asserted in such a manner
that no delay need occur, and we have every
reason to believe that ,they are pushed out
from this office promptly by the faithful and
ever-obliging ofiiciais. Evidently some bet-
ter system is needed on that Postalcar.
The Washington correspondent of the
Norwalk Gazette mentions the arrival at the
capitol last week of C. J. Starr and wife of
Bridgeport—Standard.
Our correspondent wrote that F. Armstrong
_and wife Of Bridgeport were at' the Capitol,
and Mr. Starr and wife of Stamfiml, but our
compositor got his copy “mixed” somehow.
Selectman Smith makes a suggestion in re-
gard to MacAdamizing our streets, which
seems to us quite feasible. He suggests that
the town take Some place on the hills midway
between Boro’ and City, and set the tramps
and men out of employment to cracking
stone, and then to furnish the same to Boro’
and City in such proportion as may be agreed
upon,—both corporations then to commence
at the dividing line and work towards each
business center. In this manner West Ave.
nue would soon be put in good order, and
then attention could be given to other streets,
By this arrangement the town,boro’ and city
would all be benefitted.
On our outside this week, will be found a
letter from Southern California addressed to
Rev. Z. B. Burr, Of Southport, who visited
that section several years ago, and, who, tak-
ing a discouraging view of the “N _‘W Italy”
freely expressed himself in print, warning Ofi‘
seekers of health, &c. This‘lctter is from a
brother Minister residing there at present,
and is sent us for publication with the en-
dorsement of Mrs. LcGrand Lockwood, who
has now a Vineyard at Riverside. She speaks
in great praise of the cOunl-ry and the pres-
ent fruit prospects. She seems to have‘ em-
barkcd in the culture of fruit 'quitc largely.

. Another Bank was robbed in Massachusetts
Saturday, in' broad daylight. Business was
over, but the vault was still Open, when a
man came in and asked the President—the
only person present,—to step out to the side-
walk tospeak to a lady in a carriage, who
commenced counting out .a roll of bills for a
draft. He would not wait for her, but re-
turned to the Bank, when he found several
trunks in the vault had been stolen, contain-
ing fifty thousand dollars. NO clue to the
thieves. Bank ofiicials cannot be too careful
in these days. ‘

Now that the season is far advanced and
the time for all fan-dangs is nearly past, is it
not well to~look back and see if the frivoli-
ties to which to‘which all classes have been
too much givenlduring the past season, have
not been a detriment to the community? How
many who have been struggling to cope with
that adversary, poverty, have sought to cem-
pole with their neighbors in show and finery,
and attended balls and socials at a cost which
they could illy afford and yet do justice to
those to whom they were under obligations ?
The merchant, mechanic, and citizens are all
feeling the pressure of the hard times, and it
behooves everyone to be frugal and economi-
cal. Who will commencc the great reform?
The First National Bank of South Norwalk,
for some days past, have paid out gold for
greenbacks very liberally.
What would the election forjudge of probate
been without the aid of this end of- the town,
which also includes the city? Where would

good men elected to ofiicc, call upon South
Norwalk, she will help you every time, al-
though the Opposing candidate may promise
to do all the work without a clerk and yet
promise that position to a Republican.
The unpleasantncss of St. Patrick’s day, or
some other cause, prevented a large attend-
ance at all of the city churches on Sunday
cvcnintr. The afternoon service in German,
at Trinity chapel, was slimly attendcd,which
is an unusual occurrence.
'Mr. Rogers, the reformed .actor, was an-
nounced to lecture on temperance in the Gen-
gregational church, Sunday evening, but fail-
ed to put in an appearance until most of the
attendance at the .young peoples,meeting had
left. Quite a large number were disappoint-
ed, as the storm had prevented their attend-
ing the afternoOn meeting up town.

A very lit.le experience is worth a vast

Taylor, the celebrated New York merchants,
have to say about the agency through which
they built up their large and prosperous busi-
ness :
“Of all the methods Open to the merchant
for advertising his business, an experience of
nearly half a century enables us to unhesitat-
ingly declare in favor of the newspaper. It is
without exception, the most economical, per-
sistent, painstaking and successful canvasscr
any business firm can secure for the purpose
of bringing their goods to the attention of the
consumer."

CONNECTICUT LEGISLATURE
The SENATE Saturday, at 10:45 took up the
special order of the day, being the. not de
sale of intoxicating liquors. Mr. Hunting-
ton spoke against the passage of the bill,
holding that if the act was carried prosecu-
tionsagainst the liquor traffic would practi-
cally be suspended. The bill was, in his
Opinion, unconstitutional. Mr. Bray was in
favor of the measure. It gives to justices of
the peace the right to try violatiOns of the
temperance law, and he believed that this was
constitutional. The giving of final jurisdic-
tion to justices of the peace was not con-
trary to the statute law of the State, and Mr.
Bray. read several acts of the General Assem-
bly, sustaining this view» of the ease. On a
you and any vote the bill was rejected 7 to 9
as follows : Yeas—Houston, Bray, Brown,
Hoyt, Moulton, Dean and Converse. Nays——
Hills, Whitman, Mather, Hayward, Sanford,
Huntington. Fagan and Dickinson. Not
voting—Miles. Absent—Post, Bishop, Coo
and Spencer. The bill regulating the license
law, making the licensefce $150 instead of
$100 camefrom the House amended and its
indefinite postponement was moved by Mr.
Huntington. Mr. ' Hoyt made an able and
earnest speech in favor of the bill
On a yea/and. nay vote indefinite postpone-
ment was carried 9 to. 8 as follOWs: Yeas
—Hills, Whitman, Bowers, Post, Mather.
Hayward, Sanford, Huntington and Fagan.
Nays—Bray,'Brown, Bishop, Hoyt, Moulton,
-Dean, Spencer and Converse. Absent-—
Houston, Coe, Miles and Dickinson. ’
The resolution abating the taxes of the
Charter Oak Life Insurance Company for one
vear, amounting to $18,000, was carried, Mr.
Brown favoring its passage. - .
A resolution was passed making the salary
pgge Governor $2,000 per year from Jan. 1,
At 1:07 p. m. the Senate adjourned until
12 m. Tuesday, March-'26, when the Assem-
bly will meet in the new capitol.
Housm—The bill providing for the fees to
be paid for attendance of officers in court,
came from the Conference Committee with
the recommendation that the House concurs
WIth the Senate in passing the bill as amended
by the Senate. Suchaction was taken.
Resolution in favor of a constitutional
amendment providing that the term of office
of Sheriff shall be four years, was continued
to the next session of the General Assembly,
and ordered to be published with the laws.
The bill changing the license law came
from the Senate indefinitely postponed. The
House voted to adhere to its action in passing
the bill. _
At 1:30 the House adjourned ~to Tuesday,

ion, No. 2. S. of T., holden Friday Evening,
March 15th, 1878, the following Resolutions
were adopted.
WHEREAS. It has pleased our Heavenly
Father in his all-wise providence so soon again
to visit our little band. and to call another of
ournumber to himself, our sister, EMMA I.
°EI.LS, therefore
Resolved. That in the death of our sister,
the cause for which we labor has lost a true
advocate, and although not permitted for
many months to join us, so that to some her
face was that of a stranger, still by all who
knew her she was much beloved,— and has
long been missed ' from our circle, as one
whose place is hard to fill.
Resolved, That while we mourn the death of
our Sister, we that are living would strive to
accept as a. precious legacy, the example of
patience and gentle submission left us by our
Sister. May we allremcmber that we too are
mortal, and sooner or later we must obey the
summons hence. Like her may we be ready.
Resoloed, That to her sorrowing husband,
our Grand Worthy Patriarch, ~we feel the
whole Order will join with us in offering their
heartfelt sympathy, and in this, his hour of
bereavement, they would bind the bands of
fraternal friendship more closely around him,
and would point him to the loving care of the
Great Patriarch above . for strength to say,
“Not my will, Oh Lord, but thine be done,"
and to her relatives and friends we would
offer our warmest sympathy.
My Saviour. as thou «wilt ;
0h, may thy will be done;
Into thy hand of love
I would my all resign.
Through sorrow or through joy,
Conduct me as thine own ;
And help me still to say,
My Lord, thy will, be done.
Resolved, That a copy of these Resolutions
be entered upon the minutes of the Division,
and a copy transmitted to the husband and
relatives of the deceased, also to the NORWA LK
GAZETTE for publication.

ductors employed by the company and three
hundred first-class mechanics in the machine
shops have been pcrepmtorially discharged,
and all the mechanics and laborers kept in
the service of the road are to have their pay
cut down fifteen per cent. forthwith. The
prospect for spring is even more discouraging
for the workmen than for the stockholders of
the road, and these latter have had no easy
time of it. The stock that only a. short time
ago brought {$175 a share is now quoted un-
der $90. '
